9.5-The Distance and Midpoint Formulas
.the distance is the length between two points.
The formula for the distance of a line is D=√ (x2-x1)2+ (y2-y1)2
Problem M (6, 3) and N (5, 7)
(5-6) + (7-3)
(-1) +4
1+16
17
The midpoint is a point on a line that has equal amounts of space on either side of the point.
Midpoint formulas (x +x /2, y +y /2)
Problem endpoints (3, 8) and (-9,-4)
M= (3+ (-9)/2, 8+ (-4)/2)
= (-3, 2)
